India Postpones Compliance Timeline for Certain Feed Standards

India recently extended the timeline for complying with new feed and feed materials standards for meat and milk producing animals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Foreign Agricultural Service said in a July 30 report. The new Jan. 1 compliance date applies to industry stakeholders and traders who “encountered difficulties” obtaining certification or licensing during the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. USDA stressed that import approvals for any product remain subject to “local rules and regulations as interpreted by Indian officials at the time of product entry.”
